Encouraging illegal activities aren't we? (look at this ad) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I thought that it is a federal offense to willfully destroy a mailbox?

j/k, I know it's not real and I should really just relax. I just thought it was weird having one of those ads that has you trying to play Mailbox Baseball, which is illegal.

I don't like that ad. It's a joke and all, but you always wonder about who's gonna get ideas from that.

We have had 2 mailboxes destroyed over the years. So we now have a P O box!

There are a few ads on this site that encourage illegal activities. Like the one that has you punching Bush. I know that people are not going to do it, but still.

And then there's the spammer who hit ChitChat this morning touting illegal methods of making money at home - "chain letter" style!

That's like spamming boards telling you to sell drugs or your body to earn extra money from home!

Wow, what's next, a game of "Rob the crippled old lady?"

Tuesday Weld · 08-04-2005, 12:31 PM

People don't need much encouragement, these days.

Mikado · 08-04-2005, 12:56 PM

Just watch ANY ad aimed at teens or even pre-teens, they always show some kid on a bike, skateboard, motorcycle etc doing some really dangerous , possibly illegal activity with the catch words " BREAK ALL THE RULES!!!" , and this is to sell drink boxes, ffs

....No WONDER kids wont listen to their parents anymore !!!

Karen* · 08-04-2005, 01:53 PM

MsOrange · 08-04-2005, 11:00 PM

don't worry... someone will find some reason and some lawyer and some judge that will rule that this particular ad contributed to the delinquency of a minor and caused great devastation to our society as a whole
